Implementing Healthy Schoolyards for Los Angeles Unified

The Implementing Healthy Schoolyards for Los Angeles Unified project is a collaborative initiative between the Council for Watershed Health and the Los Angeles Unified School District. Managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the project focuses on transforming three school sites in Los Angeles County into green schoolyards. The scope of work includes significant environmental and structural improvements, specifically the removal of 21,600 square feet of concrete and asphalt to make way for natural play areas, outdoor classrooms, and new irrigation systems. To enhance the local ecosystem, the project involves planting 90 #15 trees and 1,320 individual plants. The project has been granted a Class 4 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as the planned land alterations are considered minor in scope and are not expected to result in significant adverse environmental impacts. While the technical specifications and deliverables are clearly defined, specific financial details such as the total contract value, unit pricing, and period of performance are not provided in the available documentation. Administrative oversight is provided by the CAL FIRE Sacramento Headquarters, and the project is categorized under NAICS code 561730.
